- History: The UGG® Australia story began in 1978, when Brian Smith, a young surfer from Australia, took a trip to the United States with a bag full of sheepskin boots. After finding a new home amongst California surfers, the UGG® Australia brand began to take shape. In 1995 UGG® Australia was acquired by Deckers Outdoor Corporation who took the brand to new heights and positioned UGG®Australia alongside the world's finest luxury footwear brands. From UGG® Australia’s conception in Australia over 3 decades ago the brand has gone from strength to strength. As an official distributor Office has accompanied UGG® Australia on this journey and continues to supply the UK’s best range of UGG Australia sheepskin boots and accessories.
